Belt Parkway, before dawn
New York City: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 18, 2025
Just before 6 AM on the Belt Parkway near 146th Street, two drivers hit a man crossing, police said. He died there. Source.
He was one of 1,127 people killed on New York City streets since Jan 1, 2022, according to city crash data. The same records log 350,311 crashes and 198,401 injuries in that span, with 2,605 marked as serious. Source.
This Week
- Overnight on Mosholu Parkway, a driver in a sedan going straight hit and killed a 30-year-old man; police recorded driver inattention. Source.
- At 30th Street and 39th Avenue, a driver in an SUV turned right and hit a 38-year-old woman in a marked crosswalk; police recorded failure to yield. She died. Source.

The toll keeps coming
This year, NYC has logged 203 deaths, down from 215 at this point last year. Serious injuries rose to 558 from 530. Crashes fell to 58,523 from 65,495. These are lives, not trends. Source.
Among people walking, the city’s dataset records 206 deaths linked to SUV drivers and 98 to sedan drivers since 2022. Source.
Speed is the difference between life and death
“Speed cameras have cut speeding by over 60% in locations where installed,” the State Senate wrote when renewing the program. Source.
NYC now has the legal tools to slow cars and stop the worst repeat offenders. The city can lower the default limit on local streets, and Albany has a bill to force habitual speeders to use intelligent speed assistance. Details are here.
What we can do now
- Lower the speed limit citywide. Use Sammy’s Law authority. Details.
- Pass the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C). Require speed limiters for anyone racking up camera tickets or DMV points. Details.
The man on the Belt Parkway never made it across. We do not need more names. We need fewer of these mornings. Take one step today. Act now.
